Is a /48 still the smallest thing you can route independently?

I've finally convinced $DAYJOB to deploy IPv6.  Justification for the IP space is easy, however the truth is that a /64 
is more than we need in all locations. However the last I heard was that you can't effectively announce anything 
smaller than a /48.  Is this still true?

Is this likely to change in the immediate future, or do I need to ask for a /44?
